Critical Literacy & Intent/Bias Detection

English & Expressive Literacy

Your child reads news articles, advertisements, or opinion editorials and identifies whether the author is presenting objective facts or trying to manipulate opinions via biased vocabulary.

In real life

Reading hotel reviews or a news article together, your child points out loaded words: "They say 'cramped,' but the other review says 'cozy' for the same room. One of them is trying to make us feel something."
